Chapter 5: Awaken
Kim and Shego glared at each other for a long while. Both had been arguing for hours over what to do about the resistance. Each had given their side and neither could come to an agreement on anything.
"Damn it Princess we can't just sit here with our thumb up our asses and let those bastards get away this! We need to take action! We need to show them who they are dealing with!" Shego declared passionately.
"Shego we can't just running in guns ablaze and attack whatever moves. We need a plan, we need more information. We don't even know who the new leader is, or where they are located. The only person who knows anything is comatose! We need more information." Kim shouted back she had enough of this. She turned on a heel and walked out of the room leaving Shego alone with her anger.

Kim hadn't come to visit Monique in days, Kim sat at her bedside often she would seek advice that would never be given. Sometimes she would talk about old times, before the world was taken. Mostly she would sit quietly and stare down at Monique's sleeping form, waiting patiently for her eyes to open.
After the argument Kim found herself back at Monique's bed side. She sighed heavily and rested a hand on Monique's face.
"We got into another fight Mon. If we keep this up we're never going to get anything done. Our rule is going to fall apart because she and I can't just agree on one simple plan of action against this stupid resistance." Kim rested her head in her hands out of frustration.
"I keep saying we need more information but you are the only person we have who can help us with that, and look at you. In a coma, you probably can't even hear me. I must seem so pathetic you've been like this for months and here I am just talking away asking for advice I'm not going to get and pleading for you to wake up. You can't even hear me what's the point?" Kim broke out into thick tears that slipped through her fingers and slashed against the floor.
"I can hear you." A faint whisper filled her ears. Kim slowly lifted her head and looked up and Monique who lay still on the bed. She didn't make any movements. Kim leaned in closer until she was face to face with the woman. Stray tears slid down her cheeks and dripped onto Monique's face.
"Talking to a coma patient isn't pathetic Kim, crying at a time like this is." The whisper came again. Kim felt a hot breath on her chin; she jumped off the bed in surprise.
"Monique? Are you…are you awake?" Kim asked leaning close once again over Monique to get a closer look. Monique's eyes slowly opened and locked Kim in an intense stare. Kim stood frozen over Monique.
"You're a little close Kim." Monique whispered with a weak smile. Kim hesitantly backed away. Monique turned her head slightly in Kim's direction. Kim stood in shock for a moment and suddenly rushed forward throwing her arms around Monique's neck.
"You're awake. I missed you so much." Kim whispered in her ear.
"That's great but you're hurting me." Monique said weakly. Kim released her and took a seat at her side. Kim couldn't think of the last time she felt this much relief and happiness. Monique closed her eyes and struggled to sit up.
"Let me…" Kim began but was silenced by Monique shaking her head in rejection to Kim's offer of help. She slowly pushed herself up into an upright position.
"You know Kim I could hear you the whole time. And I think I can help you with your problem." Monique said in a stronger tone. Kim leaned closer with great interest in Monique's words. She had been waiting months for this and she didn't want to miss a word.
